Branching out

This is my first post about a vintage item of clothing that I have picked up for next to nothing in a charity shop. I got this on Monday for the princely sum of one whole English pound!

Its is a black and white slash neck, half sleeve, top from the 1980s. It has a superb leaf/branch pattern all over it, which is very ‘on trend’ at the moment. The top looks great when it is teamed with contrasting accessories. I have taken two photos of it to show you how it can be transformed.

In the second photo, I have paired the top with a chunky lipstick red necklace (50p from guess where?!) & a matching red Italian leather belt (TK Maxx – home of quality belts). Who would know that this fabulous ensemble cost less than a tenner? I am on the hunt for a red vintage cinch belt but have yet to find one I like.

Another amazing thing about this one pound top……it DOESN’T NEED IRONING! Just wash & hang up to dry. A busy woman’s dream.
